Ogdon V. Workmen's Compensation Appeals Board

Donald R. Ogdon, an applicant for workmen's compensation, seeks review of an award of lien made by the appeals board to the San Bernardino County Welfare Department in the sum of $2,031.50 against the sum of $9,177.91, the balance remaining under the compromise and release agreement entered into between Ogdon, his employer, and the latter's insurance carriers after deduction of other liens not here contested. The referee ordered that the sum of $2,031.50 be withheld from payment pending determination of the validity of the lien asserted by the county welfare department (County). The lien was ordered paid in full by the appeals board.
